Morphology

silenic = silene (semi-transparent) = silene + ic

Formed by the productive suffix '-ic' from the technical noun 'silene'; formation is regular but the base is specialized technical vocabulary.

Etymology

Silenic comes from silicon plus the ending -ic, where -ic means 'related to'. So, silenic describes something 'related to silicon', especially a molecule that has a silicon double bond.
